The Head Trader was asked if the tournament current favourite, Jason Day, was the best bet to win it. The Head Trader said “the last 6 months – 6 wins from 13 starts – including a clinical performance in the last major, the US PGA, that he can win these events now, and is currently playing better than anyone so is a worthy favourite.”
